Winterlights

5 - 9 pm

Return to Winterlights this November 18 through January 6.The lights will dance again on the Lilly House lawn as you amble side by side with family and friends. You can still enjoy warm drinks, handmade s’mores, and unique photo ops. But this time? It’ll be among the glow of a million and a half lights. Our new Wintermarket will open, alongside some bigger, better light designs. Wanna upgrade? We’re offering special glasses that transform each and every light into a shimmering snowflake. Each pair comes with a complimentary warm drink and a tear off tab for buy one get one free admission from January 8 through Valentine’s Day weekend.

New this year, the Deer Zink Special Events Pavilion has been transformed into a Wintermarket, the first stop for a warm cup of hot chocolate or apple cider—with spiked options for adults. Local artisans like Smoking Goose, Gallery Pastry Shop, Circle City Soups and Sun King Brewery will sell popular food and beverage options.

Santa will join us for special appearances every Tuesday in December. Also in December, you’ll hear the voices of carolers every Wednesday.
